McDonald’s Japan Teasing Hello Kitty 50th Anniversary Promotion

McDonald’s Japan revealed an image on its official social media account teasing a Happy Meal collaboration with the Sanrio mascot Hello Kitty to celebrate the character’s 50th anniversary. It hasn’t been confirmed when this promotion will begin or if it will spread outside of Japan.

We can assume this image is teasing a Hello Kitty promotion due to the classic red bow being present on the number 50. Additionally, a Happy Meal symbol is circled in the top left of the image. So, this event is likely to feature limited Happy Meal toys.

A Paw Patrol image was also teased, suggesting people will have an option of choosing between two types of Happy Meal toys. Since that image appeared on the same day, odds are the two promotions will run at the same time.

Recently, a previous Sanrio collaboration with McDonald’s that involved Hello Kitty shaped baskets appeared on TikTok. Though it recently started trending, it was actually launched at Singapore locations in 2019. It hasn’t been confirmed if McDonald’s Japan will take its plans in a similar direction.

The Hello Kitty McDonald’s Japan 50th anniversary Happy Meal will appear in the future.
